Fluency (number of correct words read per minute) is increased by repeated reading. However, struggling readers hate repeated readings. It is tough enough to get them to read once, let alone the numerous times necessary to increase reading fluency.
Reader's Theatre is the perfect way to encourage repeated reading, especially if the promise of an audience performance is coming.
Just imagine...more advanced classes can add puppets to add excitement to the production and even produce their own scripts.
